Missing the Big Kay

Blogging has been definitely a new experience if you haven't tried it do it. I am really enjoying myself. There are people from my family and friends, as well as strangers that I am sure, are reading my stuff, which is awesome. Tonight, I was chit-chatting about my blog with a friend of mine when it dawned on me that I miss my grandma, which really kind of hit me by surprise.

Just a real quick up to speed lesson (so you don't fall behind), A few years ago her and I started a tradition, sort of, to meet on Tuesday with the girls. She and a few of our friends would meet, every week different people but the same few faces. We would have parties for Dildos or Tupperware (whatever someone was selling at the moment). We would carve pumpkins on Halloween. We did this steady for a year and a half before work schedules, and health conditions got the best of both of us. Before you knew it, we no longer met on Tuesdays.

For the last year, she and I would talk on the phone. She was always interested in everything I did. She was always speaking her mind, whether I wanted to hear it or not. When we would end up in the same place, you could always find us in the back catching up on what we missed until my dad would be breaking us up because we are getting too loud. The last time I saw my granny was at my cousin's funeral, a week before she passed, and you never know that will happen till it really does.

Which brings me to the point... I am sharing this with you because today as I am writing, sharing, and "blogging" and one of my people is not there. That makes me sad. I miss her on my Facebook feeds on days when I am awesome, and on the days I am sad. I see her in my memories with her being the only person who has like 57 pictures individually because she looked through every single one of them. My husband and I used to joke about the phones just lighting up and saying oh looks like G-ma is on Facebook. I know that she would be reading my blog posts, sharing them, and getting all crazy about it for me. No one in the last 48 hours has really filled her shoes.

As I get older, ha haha... I realize how precious this time we have is. How limited it is. How little of it there is. It is something that is so wasted. I waste it, you waste it and then when action is needed say I don't have time for it. I don't have time for you. I don't have time for me. I don't have time for anything. You don't want to end up with a life that has no Tuesdays.

Do me a favor, would you? Call your granny, and tell her you to love her if you can. If you got a day to sleep in because you don't have to work, make a breakfast date with her and get to know her. You are kind of like the second generation of her vagina, and she actually has a lot of wisdom to share with you if you will listen. The thing I have found with any granny is unless you ask, they never tell... Share your life with them. Let them help you to get over anxiety or depression. Most of them lived through things that you couldn't even imagine.

My day was Sunday the church was the farm with Gma and Ma and the uncles miss the coffee and the stories and the constant push to eat enough to bloat a horse. Gma would share her recipe for cherry cheese cake and Ma would cut down my food with a huge mouth full. I miss the small talk and the ability to bitch about whatever and always have support. Being first was the best! Feel a little lost and alone now... I miss them both. Thanks for your thoughts nice read. I Love you Slimmy! Dad

Life seems to never ever hesitate in giving me things to do. If life is easy on you, then call me I will give you something to do. I do want to thank every single person in my life at this exact moment. Since I started writing my blog, I have been overwhelmed with the support from so many directions. I am happy to be sharing, helping and changing people. It just reiterates that you need to find your purpose, your people, and your happiness! It is so worth it. THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO START WITH BECAUSE I AM SO GRATEFUL.
Do you know that feeling you get when something is wrong? That instinct that there is just something off with a person or situation. The feeling when someone gives you the creeps. That feeling that something is just not right.
In all situations, this feeling can happen. It is something that can not be articulated, but you feel it. Somewhere deep inside. Unexplainable. Listening to this feeling and following it should be something that you strive for.

Robert Waldinger - Harvard Study
Harvard pushed out a happiness study. The research that was produced in this study was phenomenal. They studied 720 men from all walks of life. I was watching the information at the end of my seat. Not only did they do surveys but they implemented many other different aspects like medical exams. There was only one thing that always determined whether someone was happy or not, and that was whether or not they had good relationships.

The information is incredible. I started to look back on my own life.
When I was unhappy and miserable, I didn't really have any good relationships.
When I was happy but still had the same problems, I had very good relationships with my family, friends, coworkers.
Think about your life. Are you happy?
If your answer is no, this study may be able to help you and give you hope. The relationships were not specific. That means today can be your day to start a better life. Relationships can be your key.
The thing ab…

I am Ashley Levesque.
I am on a mission to help people grow and change the way they think, so they too can find happiness.

One of the best things you can do is surround yourself with people who are good. Let me define this for you, in my personal opinion...

Good people are those who have a set of values to start with.
They never compromise their beliefs to be popular, or to go with the crowds.
They are honest (always, not just when it is easy).
They do what is just, not just what they believe is right.
They stand up for themselves.
They stand up for others who cannot stand up for themselves.
They realize that problems can not be fixed in a day, but know that progress takes place every single day.
They are not judging you but listening to you.

I have always considered myself a GOOD person. When you think about yourself, you are likely thinking the same thing I used to.
